Melanie Scrafano

As Wynonna Earp, the leading lady of Syfy's supernatural Western of the same name, Melanie Scrofano plays an unconventional heroine who is many things at once: a badass champion, a protective older sister, a broken daughter, a loyal friend, a complicated partner and a fierce mother — and she makes the audience feel every facet of her character. This season when Dolls (Shamier Anderson) died or when Wynonna found out Doc (Tim Rozon) had made the (terrible) decision to become a vampire, you felt Wynonna's heart breaking because yours was too — and that's because of Scrofano's gut-wrenching performance. And as often as she makes you cry, she just as easily makes you laugh, rattling off lines like, "We don't talk about Helen Mirren in that tone!" We don't want to just be friends with Wynonna; we want to be friends with Melanie, too. --Kaitlin Thomas
